Chapter 315 High-Level Meeting

As a general manager, Zhang Ye inevitably had to socialize, such as various Lingbao industries, family influence, etc., but it only took him two days to sort everything out. Even if he didn't sort it out, he didn't care. Take a break and focus on work.

This surprised those who secretly watched Zhang Ye's jokes. He was young and successful, but he was not addicted to power, neither arrogant nor impetuous. He was a good person.

Although Zhang Ye was not very familiar with the work of a general manager, the people under him were all old people and kept everything in order. Zhang Ye was able to take some time off from his busy schedule and even took the time to reach the early stage of immortal cultivation.

When he went on a business trip to the Feiyun Army, he reached the realm of earthly immortals. Later, he received the Wuji elixir as a reward from the coach many times. Zhang Ye's cultivation level could be regarded as using the elixirs to reach the realm of heavenly immortals.

However, it is impossible to break through the cultivation level so quickly in the future, because the Wuji elixir has very little effect on the immortals.

However, there are still elixirs that can assist the cultivation of immortals. They are called Nine-turn elixir. Although they cannot directly improve the level of cultivation of immortals like the Wuji elixir, they can also make the subsequent cultivation twice the result with half the effort.

Zhang Ye exhaled a breath of turbid air and woke up from meditation.

Tuanzi ran over with the calf of the alchemy cauldron: "Boss, I can refine the Wuji elixir, it's amazing!"

If Tuanzi could refine the Wuji elixir a month earlier, it would still be helpful to Zhang Ye, but he has already eaten enough with his own merit.

However, Zhang Ye didn't want to dampen Tuanzi's enthusiasm, so he took the Wuji elixir he had refined and praised it. Although he could no longer eat the Wuji elixir, he could use it to train his confidants.

And as a general manager, it’s impossible to keep everything.

"Tongtian, come here." Zhang Ye also brought the pangolin back to Lingbaosi, and the three idiots Ahua, Tongtian, and Tuanzi were reunited. However, the pangolin was at the lowest level. He was often beaten in the early stage of human immortality, and it was hard to tell anyone about it. It was embarrassing, so Zhang Ye planned to reward the pangolin with the Wuji elixir he had just refined.

The pangolin did not dare to transform into a human in front of Zhang Ye, so it took full advantage of the cuteness of animals, rolled over, took the Wuji elixir in its mouth, and took it to a corner to secretly enjoy it.

Speaking of which, as a ferocious beast, pangolins do not need to practice martial arts. As long as they accumulate enough, they can break through the realm. If the pills are enough, the pangolin may become the fastest among the three fools.

As for the dumplings and the pure Danding Lingbao, Zhang Ye’s forging skills will be as good as they are, so don’t worry. Zhang Ye told him to focus on refining the Wuji elixir later on, and at the same time explore the refining of the Nine Transformations elixir.

Although A-hua is also a spiritual treasure, she has taken a different route, using the dragon soul to practice the ancestral dragon inheritance. Zhang Ye inquired about it and found that everything went well. As long as given time, A-hua will be able to break into her own world.

After arranging the affairs of the three little ones, Zhang Ye walked out of the general manager's courtyard. Today, the general manager will hold a high-level meeting. Regarding the development of Lingbao Division, all four general managers must attend.

When Zhang Ye came to the meeting hall, the other three general managers had been waiting for a long time, but the chief general manager had not yet appeared.

Zhang Ye and several general managers greeted politely. The third and fourth general managers responded to Zhang Ye. The second general manager was a little cold and snorted and ignored Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye had heard that the position of Bailian Mountain was originally the Second Manager's ambition, and the General Secretary had also planned this at first. However, Zhang Ye intercepted him and Lord Tianzun personally ordered Zhang Ye to take the position, so the Second Manager was very unhappy.

Zhang Ye didn't take it to heart, so what if you were unhappy? At the general manager level, as long as you don't make mistakes, you will have an iron job, and the general manager has no right to fire you.

Zhang Ye walked to the left seat and sat down. In the immortal world, the left is the most respected person. Zhang Ye is the general manager, so this is his status.

Seeing Zhang Ye sitting in front of him, the second manager's expression became extremely unhappy.

Not long after, the General Manager hurried over, and Zhang Ye and other managers stood up and saluted.

The General Secretary asked everyone to sit down and then went straight to the topic: "Today there is something that needs to be discussed with the supervisors. It was the plan proposed by the second general manager. I think it is good. Well, let the second general manager talk about this matter in detail."

The second general manager is in charge of the personnel affairs of Lingbao Division. Is this some new regulation regarding personnel changes? The other general managers looked at the second general manager with doubts.

The second manager stood up, bowed his hands to everyone, and then said: "Since the establishment of Nantian Mansion, our Lingbao Department has been standing tall. It is only thanks to the unremitting efforts of our colleagues in the past and present that our Nantian Mansion Lingbao Department has established a prominent position in the fairy world. Prestige..."

"The salary system of Lingbao Division has remained unchanged for thousands of years. It seems that it cannot keep up with the current development, resulting in serious brain drain. I propose to reformulate the salary system and increase the benefits of blacksmiths."

This proposal sounds good at first glance, but if implemented, it is still quite difficult. For example, the most critical issue is, where will the money to improve welfare come from?

Regardless of the fact that the Lingbao Division is responsible for the forging of the official Lingbao of the entire Nantian Mansion Region, and the fees are also expensive, a large part of the income has to be handed over to the Tianzun Mansion, leaving only part to maintain the operation of the Lingbao Division.

The general manager's response was mediocre, and the scene was slightly cold. The general manager asked everyone for their opinions. In fact, after all, in a word, Lingbaosi had no money. Regarding salary reform, the ideas are rich but the reality is very skinny.

The lord general manager felt a little regretful. He originally thought that by moving the departments under the general manager, some operating expenses would be saved, and the money for salary increases would come out. However, the general managers were crying about their poverty and crying until they died. The lord general manager thought about it. So I had to shelve the proposal.

But at this time, the second manager said: "Sir, my subordinates have ways to save money."

"Oh?" Mr. Souji was a little pleased, "Tell me quickly."

"According to my statistics, there are 4,833 blacksmiths in Lingbao Division, including more than 500 apprentices and more than 4,000 furnace masters..." The second manager reported the data and then said, "Actually, , Lingbao Division doesn’t need so many people at all. Many of them are just filling the numbers and fishing in troubled waters. As long as we lay off these people who have nothing to do but allocate resources to useful people, this will solve the problem of salary increase. , and it will also make Lingbaosi more efficient!”

Layoffs? The other managers frowned. After all, no one wanted their subordinates to be laid off.

But the General Manager's eyes lit up: "Second General Manager, you are in charge of human resources. Do you have any standards for layoffs? How many people can be laid off in the end?"

The Second Manager said: "My subordinates believe that the employment standards of the Lingbao Division can be followed for layoffs. The furnace master must be at least a late human immortal and can forge low-grade innate spiritual treasures; the deacon must be at least an earth immortal and can forge mid-grade innate spiritual treasures. The chief should be at least a Heavenly Immortal and forge high-grade innate spiritual treasures; the General Manager should be at least a Golden Immortal and forge Hunyuan Spiritual Treasures..."

Speaking of this, the second manager glanced at Zhang Ye, meaning that Zhang Ye, the senior manager, did not meet Lingbao Company's employment standards at all.

The other general managers thought about it and realized that the second general manager was talking about improving benefits and layoffs at one time, and the purpose was to target Zhang Ye.

However, Zhang Ye is the general manager appointed by Tianzun. Even if he is laid off according to the employment standards, it is impossible to lay off him. It will only make Zhang Ye feel disgusted.

Zhang Ye also heard the overtone of the second manager's words, but he didn't say anything. His own abilities were indeed falling short at the moment, and he had to dare to face up to his shortcomings. However, Zhang Ye believes that it won't be long before he can catch up with or even surpass all the general managers present.

Seeing that Zhang Ye did not refute, the second manager looked proud and continued: "If we lay off employees according to this standard, the R&D department can lay off 200 people, the forging department can lay off 100 people, and the commercial department can lay off 200 people..."

Hearing these words, several general managers frowned, especially Zhang Ye, who finally knew what medicine the second general manager was selling in his gourd. The R&D department, the forging department and other departments are all under the jurisdiction of Zhang Ye, and the layoff targets planned by the second general manager are mainly in these departments. Are they planning to oust Zhang Ye, the general manager?

Without anyone under his command, the General Manager will exist in name only!

By increasing salaries, leading to layoffs, and finally targeting the departments under the general manager, these second general managers are not simple. But Zhang Ye didn't have an attack, he just listened quietly, as if it didn't matter to him.

The third and fourth managers glanced at Zhang Ye and the second manager, and they all took the attitude that it had nothing to do with them and just wanted not to be involved.

The second general manager reported the layoff plan, and the general manager also thought about it. This was aimed at the first general manager. However, the second general manager’s words were reasonable and well-founded. The general manager could not completely think that the second general manager was seeking revenge for personal reasons, so he continued the agenda: "In the Lingbao Division, there are indeed many people who are living a life of idleness and self-destruction. I believe that layoffs are necessary. I wonder what the managers think?"

The third and fourth general managers looked at their noses and their noses, and the second general manager's layoff plan gave them a break as a sign of goodwill. But the power behind Zhang Ye is not simple, otherwise Zhang Ye would not be able to become the general manager. So they don't want to get involved in this muddy water, and they won't say a word unless the General Secretary calls him by name.

Mr. General Secretary knew that he couldn't count on the third and fourth general managers, and even if he was called by name, he would probably do Tai Chi and return it. Mr. General Secretary simply looked at Zhang Ye: "What do you mean by the chief general manager?"

Zhang Ye has always been very calm, so calm that people would think he didn't understand it at all.

But if Zhang Ye doesn't have any objections, the General Secretary will definitely not have any objections either.

Upon hearing the General Secretary's inquiry, Zhang Ye stood up, bowed his hands to everyone, and then said: "I think the second general manager's suggestion is very good. Removing some people who are living on a plain diet can indeed save money and promote efficient operations."

When Zhang Ye said this, the chief general and the third and fourth general managers showed slight contempt. As expected, the first general manager did not notice the conspiracy of the second general manager.

However, Zhang Ye changed the subject: "But I don't think the standard for layoffs should be measured by the old employment standards. It is recommended to use functional roles as the standard."

"What are functional standards? For example, for the blacksmiths in the R&D department, many of them do not meet the old employment standards. However, the blacksmiths in the R&D department do not necessarily have to be able to forge spiritual treasures or have advanced cultivation. It is more necessary to It’s creativity and teamwork.”

"To be more specific, Deacon Han of the R&D Department could only be a furnace master if we followed the old employment standards. However, he improved the Immortal Hunting Crossbow, Immortal Killing Knife and a series of other spiritual treasures. He has made great contributions and was promoted exceptionally. As a deacon, should such a person be laid off?”

Zhang Ye said that it is indeed biased to use forging skills and cultivation as indicators of layoffs. After all, many talents are partial to science.

For example, Zhang Ye himself recognized the trap of the Heart of the Universe when he was still in charge and avoided the catastrophe of the world. Such talents cannot be measured by conventional employment indicators.

Mr. Souji nodded: "You continue."

Zhang Ye returned the gift and looked at the second manager: "I think a department like the Human Resources Department is responsible for attendance, files, assessment, etc. A dozen people are enough to operate it, but it actually needs one or two hundred people? This is incompetence! I am here. I think departments like this can be cut drastically!”

The Human Resources Department is the subordinate department of the Second Manager. Zhang Ye went around and pointed his finger at the Second Manager, and even scolded him for being incompetent. His words were well-founded and could not be refuted, which made the Second Manager speechless for a long time.

Yes, it is unreasonable to ask for one or two hundred people to complete a job that can be completed by a dozen people.

The Third and Fourth Managers looked at Zhang Ye solemnly. Although this Chief Manager is young, his methods are no worse than those old guys.
